Les presento mi próximo proyecto ñoño: Armar mi propio NAS
Voy a remplazar un Qnap de 2 discos por un sistema armado con 4 discos. Ya tengo el gabinete, fuente de poder, procesador, RAM, SSD (Reciclada de la que cambié en el laptop) y los discos duros los reutilizo del Qnap. Solo falta que me llegue la placa madre.
Voy a utilizar TrueNAS SCALE como sistema operativo.
Very useful explainer posted by @dfisman. I’m am going to try and copy and paste it over here as it’s worth sharing and reading.
Going to be a bit bloody tedious as Bluesky doesn’t seem to allow copying of text. I have to “translate” it which opens it in a web page.. where I can copy the text😔
Still behind with #TWiVTLDR but I need to knit a Christmas gift and I think this is good background noise for that, so I may be catching up soon! 🤞🏻 This Week in Virology from November 9: https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-1060/
Dr. Griffin says we’re still seeing about 200 deaths a day from #COVID, and hospitalizations are starting to tick up.
However, one thing I'm lacking is any sort of notification as to when new versions are released, so i can update my server. I often forget to check for months.
I used to have a sail boat. One of the most important #safety rules in sailing is "don't sail on a schedule".
What this means is that if you have a destination & a deadline, you will override safety signals (like weather) & travel in unsafe conditions due to deadline pressure. This is how serious accidents happen while sailing.
Planning for sailing puts an emphasis on having a checklist that includes having situational awareness of issues like boat condition, charts, & weather by explicitly checking the marine weather forecasts.
Also you have to be prepared to bail on your destination & schedule if the safety signals change. You have to know where your closest port is to seek shelter if a storm arises.
It occurred to me that the #airbornePrecautions equivalent is "don't be task focused on a deadline".
The need to get a task done by a deadline causes you to lose situational awareness, & accept risk that you would not otherwise accept if you thought your safety plan through ahead of time.
This is exacerbated by the total lack of a danger signal in society right now. No mitigations visible. Out of sight, out of mind.
This bit me yesterday getting a vaccination from an unmasked pharmacist in a small room. I took a risk I should not have, because I lost situational awareness under the drive to get the task done. I never would have accepted that risk in my pre-thought out safety plan. But it just popped up in the middle of the task, & I let it slide because I wasn't situationally aware.
Now, ofc I was wearing #P100#elastomeric so the risk here is relative. My event was ocular exposure during high water mark for community transmission, not being maskless. But it is not a risk I would have taken in a pre-thought through safety plan.
And that's the big deal now. Every little ordinary task needs a safety plan.
It's frustrating. It's exhausting.
When it goes wrong, when the safety signals change, when you get off plan, you have to be prepared to "bail". Halt a task, walk out, cancel, reschedule. Find a safe port in the new storm.
I should have refused entry with a maskless pharmacist. Cancelled, requested accommodation & rescheduled.
This is a kind of risk "velocitization" that happens. I am getting velocitized into one-way masking even during high #community#transmission periods. Everyone else but me unmasked is the new normal.
This is how accidents happen - a bunch of little issues leading to an unwanted, unplanned outcome.
Teaching the kid to drive, we've talked about manual and automatic transmissions (we only have automatic) and why it's needed with gas engines. I don't think he really gets it (or cares). When I made my EV, almost 30yrs ago, I'd left the manual transmission in, not knowing the range of operation the big DC motor and not needing reverse electrical relays. City driving I used 2nd gear all of the time.
"#Malaria was responsible for more than 600,000 deaths worldwide in 2021, the last year for which data was available, and more than three-quarters of the victims were under the age of 5.
By 2040, the combined effects of longer #transmission seasons and demographic growth could put more than 5 billion people at risk of contracting malaria worldwide, including a billion on the continent of Africa alone."
Analysis of #SARSCoV2#transmission in #airports based on real human close contact behaviors, Journal of Building Engineering
> The average close contact ratio in 9 airport's areas is 25.4 % (ranging from 6.1 % to 55.0 %), with passengers having the highest frequency of close contact in manual check-in areas. During close contacts, the average interpersonal distance in airports is 1.2 m (ranging from 1.1 to 1.4 m), being shortest in boarding areas. Face-to-face close contact is highest in charging areas, with a percentage of 46.9 %. Dining areas have the highest virus exposure risk for both short-range inhalation and mucosal deposition, followed by manual check-in areas.
The US urgently needs an expansion of the electric grid to move clean energy.
it's starting to happen.
"The US government is speeding deployment of more than $30 billion in federal support for #transmission projects.
In late October, the Energy Department announced commitments to purchase $1.3 billion worth of electric power from three multistate transmission projects, making the department the “anchor” tenant to help speed their construction."
If I could work out, in the blink of a eye, that #EatOuttoHelpOut was going to be a massive petrie dish for #Covid19#transmission, why couldn't those supposedly qualified to run the #UK? It's time we stopped allowing unqualified #politicians, especially #PMs. Everyone else jumps through qualification & experience hoops to do the most basic of jobs BUT the country is led by utter incompetents. We'd be sacked if we didn't do a good #job. #Tories just get another job they aren't qualified for.
